NOVEMBER 2013
Dear Friends of FFA,
First of all, I want to wish you and your families a very healthy,Happy New Year!
Can you believe it? We are going on our 26th year of this wonderful organization. Speaking of which---WOW! What afantabulous 25th Anniversary Party we had! The food, the music,the room, the flowers…everything! And it couldn’t have beendone without Phyllis, Ellie, Evelyn, Dottie, and Cynthia. We havereceived an outpouring of phone calls and emails from many whoattended telling us what a great time they had! Thanks, Ladies! Itwas truly a pleasure to have you on my committee.
Now, as I mentioned in previous newsletters, it’s a big job to runthese affairs, and your help is greatly needed. When you send inan article or photo of interest, please include a donation so wemay continue enjoying all of these wonderful events. Remember,every little bit helps! We will accept donations even if you don’thave an article you’d like to submit for publication. Really, wewill.
There is something else of great importance. If you can spare oneday a month (except for the summer months), we would love tohave you join our Board. We have three open seats, and I’m sureyou would add some very interesting views. We want to keep thisorganization thriving, and you can help us do just that! Thankyou.
Going forward, we are excited about planning more events in thefuture. We will keep you posted as we firm up the dates anddetails.
For now, I will leave you all with this memory:
Back in the forties when smoking was a big part of our parents’lives, there was a time when cigarette machines were all over theplace. Do you remember going to one of those machines (for yourparents, of course!), putting in two dimes, and when the packageof cigarettes came out, there were three pennies stuck in the cellophane on the side of the package? So many memories!
Until next time, Your president,Herbie Rae Raffelson

“Today is the oldest you’ve ever been.
The youngest you’ll ever be,
So enjoy this day while it lasts.”
I grew up at 641 Walk Hill Street in Mattapan and attended theSolomon Lewenberg School. Some of the people I rememberare Bobby Drobnis, Sonny Stecker, Norman Dvorkis, BillyPinkofsky, George Peterson who I worked with delivering groceries on Blue Hill Ave. and the Kaizerman family at 46Wellington Hill St. (owners) of the Morton Café). Doris Paul,the smartest girl in school, Lita Aronson, Estelle Pliner andPhyllis Cohen. And the unforgettable Jerry Rodman (RodmanFord). When Jerry moved to Walk Hill St. we became closefriends. When he returned to his old neighborhood onMichigan ave. ( behind the Franklin Park Theater)to visit his friend Sheldon Adelson, I went with him.Sheldon’s nickname was Boo Boo . Today Sheldon is theowner of the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas among other interests and is considered one of the richest men in the world.I will always remember these years. From Billy Lombardi ofDedham, MA.
I am of course a Boston transplant. We who lived in Roxburywere tough and had to fight for what we wanted—even usgirls. I left Boston in the 50’s to pursue a career in motionpictures, but like so many others I left a piece of my heart inBoston. While appalled by what happened at this yearsmarathon –one has to be so proud of the bravery,camaraderie, determination and assistance that was renderedby all Bostonions. God Bless you. In the 20 years I havebeen writing letters about the need for far more security in thisnation. not much has changed. From Barbara Dekovner-Mayer, Encino, CA.
I will always be grateful to some of my oldest and dearestfriends who were and are among the founding members. GusBlaustein, Pinky and Elaine Kagno, Evelyn and Burt Nessen,Dave and Paula Landy, and Mel and Toby Kramer. Their dedication, persistence, and hard work were responsible for allthat has followed.I can’t believe that 65 plus years of friendship and memorieshave passed since our early days at grammar school and highschool, the New Style and Bowladrome, the park and the Fieldand everything in between! Thanks for the memories! FromRon Slovin, Natick, MA.

2525thth Anniversary Reunion June 23, 2013 Anniversary Reunion June 23, 2013 Saturday Night, June 23rd 2013!
What a magical evening. “Turn Back the Hands of Time” sung byEddie Fisher in the early fifties.
Well, we did just that. We went back 25 years to the first of many“Great Reunions.”
Unfortunately, time has taken its toll and there were less peoplethan 25 years ago. That did not dim our spirits, camaraderie andenthusiasm. I found the atmosphere electric, the food great and theband outstanding. They seemed to appear on cue so as not to interfere with our (my) constant conversations.
Thanks to the committee for all the effort, time and love they putinto making this affair the fantastic success that it was!
For the past twenty-five years, we have had something very special---to belong to an organization that has given us the opportunity to stay in touch with so many of our old friends. The wonderful functions and 75+ newsletters have contributed tokeeping these friendships and memories alive throughout theyears.
I believe that we owe not just a vote of confidence but a standingovation to those many committee members for the countless andthankless hours they have spent putting together and maintainingthis great organization for all these years.

On June 23, 2013, the FFA celebrated the twenty-fifth year ofbeing founded by a group of friends just trying to hold on tomemories of the “hood.” It has evolved into a very exciting organization that has allowed us to hold on these memories andreconnect with friends from long ago. The party was a fabulous event which was attended by 152 members and it was held because of the very loyal board andespecially the efforts of the fabulous committee. As we all know, it is a tremendous undertaking and because ofall the planning and effort it takes, it is a true labor of love. Wethank you so very much for your dedication and hard work!

One slippery morning, an employee explained
why he had shown up late for work. “It was so
slippery out that for every step forward I took
ahead, I slipped back two.”
The boss eyed him suspiciously. “Oh yeah? Then
how did you ever get here?”
“I finally gave up,” he said, “and started for
home.”
